Panom Yeerum was born on February 5, 1976 in the northeastern province of Surin, Thailand. His parents were elephant herders. Panom watched martial arts films as a young kid and began to emulate some of his idols, from Bruce Lee to Jackie Chan to Jet Li. After seeing the Thai action film "Born to Fight", Panom met and studied martial arts and stuntwork as a teen under the director of that film, Panna Rittikrai. Panom went to university where he studied a variety of martial arts, from taekwondo to judo. It was not long before Panom would get work, doubling for Robin Shou and James Remar in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997) and when his demo reel was seen by director Prachya Pinkaew, the film Ong-bak (2003) was created for Panom, who is now going by the name of "Tony Jaa" in hopes to bring his style of action to international audiences.Actor - filmography

托尼-賈:作為《拳霸》和《冬蔭功》的主演,在目前全世界的動作電影市場上,這位來自泰國的年輕演員早已取代了現年43歲的李連杰成為“國際功夫巨星”,他的魅力甚至讓法國大導演呂克-貝松(Luc Besson)讚不絕口之餘,呂克-貝松不僅傾巨資將《拳霸》系列的法國發行權買下,更是千方百計地想將托尼-賈納入他的旗下。
據說,托尼-賈自十一歲第一次看過成龍的電影以後,就夢想能像成龍一般成功,自此他每天不間斷地都練習古泰拳,希望能達成心愿。1984年,托尼-賈看到由泰國著名動作演員彭拿烈迪華自導自演的電影《Born To Fight》,就下決心要拜他為師。於是,托尼-賈每天放學後都會前往片場偷看人家怎樣拍電影。高中畢業後,托尼-賈進入大學並主修體育,期間學習了不少武術,包括跆拳道、泰拳、棍法及劍法,還參與不少運動項目。每逢周末,托尼-賈就會前往彭拿烈迪華的片場。托尼-賈的誠意打動了彭拿烈迪華,最終收他為徒,傳授功夫給托尼-賈,並安排托尼-賈任他所執導電影的替身,讓他品嘗拍電影的滋味。經過四年的訓練,托尼-賈終於夢想成真,在電影《拳霸》中,托尼-賈首次擔當主演就一鳴驚人,成為炙手可熱的國際武打巨星,更讓全世界觀眾痴迷於古泰拳優雅而實用的風格。托尼-賈也因此成為了泰國的民族英雄。
